SUMMARY:Technology\, Inclusiveness\, Structural Racism\, and Silicon Valley
DESCRIPTION:The UNC Center for Civil Rights; UNC Center for Media Law and Policy; UNC Center for Information\, Technology\, and Public Life; and Common Sense Media will host a panel discussion on “Technology\, Inclusiveness\, Structural Racism\, and Silicon Valley.” \nWe are at a crossroads. Our lives and entire society have been transformed by a technology revolution and its 24/7 influence on so many aspects of our reality. But even as we rely on technology for connection and collaboration\, we’re also feeling the negative impacts of its deep roots into our lives\, our culture\, and our beliefs. Nowhere is that impact felt more keenly than in the systemic problems of racial justice and inequality in our society. As we begin to truly do the work as a society to unravel these threads\, we also see how technology has been wielded as a tool to reinforce unjust and inequitable systems and norms. It has been used maliciously to disenfranchise Black voters\, to create “e-carceration” systems that prevent those out of prison from ever truly gaining access to jobs and opportunities\, to fuel the rampant distribution of racist and hateful content across their platforms\, all while systematically denying children in Black and low-income neighborhoods access to the devices and connection speeds they need to succeed in school and beyond. And all of this has happened under the watch of technology leadership that lacks the diversity of Black and Brown faces\, and downplays their complacency. This timely panel will explore how the major tech companies will inevitably be judged by their impact\, for better or worse\, on racial justice and inequality in America\, and what steps we need to take to create a more equitable future. \nPanelists include: \n\nAmelia Gibson\, Assistant Professor\, UNC School of Information and Library Science\nRachel Kuo\, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Center for Information\, Technology\, and Public Life\nTed Shaw\, Julius L. Chambers Distinguished Professor of Law and Director of the Center for Civil Rights\, UNC School of Law\nJim Steyer\, CEO/ founder of Common Sense Media and editor of Which Side of History? How Technology is Reshaping Democracy and Our Lives\,\nFrancesca Tripodi\, Assistant Professor\, UNC School of Information and Library Science; Senior Faculty Researcher\, Center for Information\, Technology\, and Public Life\nmoderator: David Ardia\, Associate Professor of Law\, UNC School of Law and Faculty Co-Director of the UNC Center for Media Law and Policy\n\nThe event will be held on Zoom and will be open to the public.

SUMMARY:Watch: UNC Center for Civil Rights Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Equal Protection’s Grand Promise and Betrayals: Reconstruction\, Plessy to Bakke and Beyond: Is there a Way Forward?\n30 speakers | 6 panels | 2 days\nThree months following the November 2020 elections and a last-minute appointment to the Supreme Court\, the UNC Center for Civil Rights will meet to explore the origins\, present status\, and future promise of the Equal Protection Clause in these times. The symposium’s premise is that the Supreme Court may well have lost its jurisprudential way\, with far-reaching and adverse consequences\, especially for people of color\, in areas including school desegregation\, housing and employment law\, access to governmental services\, the criminal justice system\, voting rights\, and higher education. The symposium will give special attention to the 1978 Bakke opinions and the continuing battle over affirmative action policies in higher education. During this two-day journey on February 18-19\, 2021\, attendees will hear and learn from some of the nation’s foremost legal scholars\, attorneys\, and advocates. We hope you will join us. \n\n\nWatch Recording (Feb 18\, 2021)\n\n\n\nWatch Recording (Feb 19)\n\n\n\n\n\nFebruary 18 Agenda\n\n\n\nFebruary 19 Agenda
